Here are few things that happened in the shop this week!  New designs and show and tell! 

Here are two new designs by Sue Cunningham to add to her Women of Abundance line.  The first one is called "Ab-struction".  14 1/2" x 30 1/2".  When you can't see the scales maybe there's an Ab-stuction!  The one on the right is  called " Balanced Diet"  21" x 28" .  Both can be viewed on Sue's webpage

Another beautiful rug hooked by Adena Clark.  This pattern is called "Five Star Runner" and comes with either 5 or 3 stars.  A hunk of a rug Adena!  Great colours!

Finally finished this project....now unto the Mummers. I had plenty of wool to finish and hopefully my technique will improve with this rug. Joannie Moshonas

I poached this off Facebook, I hope Debra Schrang doesn't mind.  She is doing a fantastic job on this William Morris Raven pattern and I know everyone will love to see progress as much as I would!  Please keep us posted Debra!  She started the rug in a workshop with Michelle Micarelli as her teacher. She says it's  challenge, but I she is loving it!

Aunt Audrey's Morning Glories all whipped and ready for its post beside her bed! Great design and lovely hooking Audrey!

Beautifully hooked pillows by Linda Ruth Beck for sale at Come By Chance Antiques!   See how she used the placket of a sweater or a shirt for the backing.  The buttons provide the opening to stuff in the pillow insert!   Clever!   Check out their FB page!  https://www.facebook.com/pages/Come-By-Chance-Antiques/560002370773977?fref=ts

Betty Dawson hooked our Iconic Trio for her son who lives in Alberta.  What a great taste of home!    Peggy's Cove, Mahone Bay Three Churches and Lunenburg Harbour.   They three patterns are sold as a set or as individuals.   Betty also brought in her Lunenburg Schooner to show me.  Great job on the rope and sea monsters!

Shane created a new bundle, "Mixed Greens" for the perfect wool salad!

I would love, love, love to know how I could get the Westie dog pillow pattern that is in your blog post. I looks EXACTLY like our own little Westie.
Looking forward to hearing from you and thank you for your wonderful blog.
Take care,
Lana
